CHAPTER 744: CHAPTER 744: RETURNING TO CHINA

Lucy proposed a collaboration, but Tang Yue did not agree right away; instead, she went home to discuss it with Qin Anyu.

"Xiao Yue, I’ll follow your lead."

Qin Anyu handed over all the decision-making power to Tang Yue.

"Sister An Yu, don’t you have any other opinions?" Tang Yue’s gaze fell on Qin Anyu.

Qin Anyu paused and said, "I feel good about it. We take care of making the clothes, Lucy takes care of selling them, and we split the profits fifty-fifty. I think it’s feasible."

"Lucy has connections and money in Country F; getting advertisements and such in the future would also benefit our Star Bright," Qin Anyu had a very good impression of Lucy, noting that oversea clothes would not get mixed up with domestic ones.

"Collaboration is not possible, but using a franchise model would be better," Tang Yue analyzed. "Lucy joins Star Bright and then opens a store in Country F. Of course, if there are suitable advertisements, and Lucy helps us get them, we can also thank Lucy separately."

Otherwise, setting up a studio in Country F would be too much for Tang Yue, as she admitted she did not have the energy for it.

She was just one person with two hands and one brain; managing two factories domestically was already challenging enough, let alone another studio abroad – she would be exhausted for sure.

Of course, this franchise model would also need some adjustments—overseas sizing is different from domestic, hence an independent contract for the franchise would be necessary.

Qin Anyu, hearing this, raised both hands in agreement.

Lucy planned to capitalize on this momentum and immediately sign a contract with them.

By the time Tang Yue returned to her country, she had successfully signed a contract with Lucy. The domestic Star Bright Clothing Factory also began the last rush of work before the holiday.

"Xiao Yue, next year our Star Bright will definitely get better and better!" Qin Anyu sat next to Tang Yue, filled with hope for the future.

"Yes, it definitely will," Tang Yue confirmed.

Whether it’s Star Bright or Mingyue Clothing Factory, both will continue to improve.

Mingyue Clothing Factory is doing well; Mingyue Clothing’s franchise stores have almost reached a hundred, covering almost every provincial city.

Even though Tang Yue hasn’t returned yet, she could feel her uncle Tang Mingli’s joy over the phone.

"Xiao Yue, you won’t stay in Jing City for long, right? Are you going straight to Jin City?" Qin Anyu asked.

Meng Siyu wasn’t in Jing City, so Tang Yue wouldn’t stay long.

"Yes, I’ll make a trip to Jing City, then to Jiang City, and then take a transfer to Jin City," Tang Yue thought, planning to spend the New Year with Meng Siyu, so he wouldn’t have to spend it alone in Jin City.

Tang Yue was eager to return; she hadn’t seen Meng Siyu for several months and wished she could sprout wings and fly directly to Jin City.

"I thought you’d go directly to Jin City," Qin Anyu teased.

Tang Yue glanced at her and said, "If I go to Jin City, I still need to find a house. It definitely won’t be quick. I’d rather go to other places first, so I’m not in a rush and can take my time looking."

She had previously asked Lian Qingyang for help in finding a house.

He’s been so busy with his computer shop lately; he probably didn’t have time.

As soon as the plane landed in Jing City, Tang Yue didn’t even have time to adjust to the jet lag before distributing the things she brought back.

"Xiao Yue, you really don’t need to spend so much," Mo Xiaolin said, eyeing the bags and perfumes Tang Yue brought back; she liked them a lot.

Every year, the several sets of clothes Tang Yue sent were particularly nice; she hardly needed to buy any clothes now.

"Mom, just keep them with peace of mind; it’s also my heartfelt gesture," Tang Yue said with a smile.

Taking advantage of the evening, she went to Tang Mingli’s house for a meal.

Tang Mingli was now full of vigor; both clothing factories had begun to develop and gradually scale up. Even without taking on new clients, the earnings from the current clients were already substantial.

Not to mention, Mingyue Clothing’s reputation was growing louder, and franchises would continue to increase. Relying on reputation and sales volumes, Mingyue Clothing’s future would continue to thrive as long as there were no major quality issues.

Jiajia’s father, who used to look down on Tang Mingli, now regarded him as a top-notch son-in-law, with unparalleled enthusiasm.

It could be said that the current Tang Mingli was radiantly thriving, his vigor and spirit a total transformation from when he first returned.

His clothes were not particularly expensive, nor did he adorn himself with large gold rings and chains like other suddenly wealthy people; his dress did not exude wealth, but his spirit was exceptional, his eyes harboring a soft glow of happiness.

The Tang Family had also undergone earth-shaking changes, the only constant being Tang Mingli’s enduring deep love and care for Jiajia.

Tang Yue watched with great admiration.

Taking advantage of some free time, Tang Yue visited Lian Qingyang, who proved reliable, finding her a house in the same direction as the school, about a fifteen-minute walk.

"Sister Xiao Yue, the only downside of that house is that it’s a bungalow," Lian Qingyang said, having seen many places that were either too far from the_company or too cluttered.

But this place had convenient transportation and the house was originally distributed by the government, later transferred to private hands, with very few people selling now, and reportedly many teachers still living there.

"What’s wrong with a bungalow, does it have a yard? Is it a standalone house?" Tang Yue asked in detail.

"Yes, it’s almost like a Siheyuan, but it’s just a single row of houses, two rooms, one kitchen, a living room in the middle, and a small yard," Lian Qingyang confirmed, "but the previous owner seemed very cultured, having planted some flowers and plants. I think you would definitely like it, Sister Xiao Yue."

"Qingyang, you’ve taken a lot of trouble," Tang Yue said, even without seeing it, she was already fond of the place based on Lian Qingyang’s description; she took the keys, got the address, and directly gave Lian Qingyang the money for the house.

Initially, Lian Qingyang refused to take the money, but Tang Yue said if he didn’t accept it, she wouldn’t live there.

Lian Qingyang had no choice but to accept.

After spending two days in Jing City, she flew to Jiang City, heading straight for Wangjiang County, unwilling to delay even a day.

Wangjiang County had changed so much in just a year that Tang Yue almost didn’t recognize it; although it was still considered a county, it had developed faster than some backward cities.

The wide and flat roads, the bustling shops on both sides of the street appeared even more spacious than those in the city.

Upon arriving home, Tang Yue’s family’s previous location was quite remote, but now there were many new houses built nearby, all neatly planned and quite beautiful.

Tang Yue put down her things and didn’t see Tang Jun, so she went straight to the restaurant.
